Two Horsington Residents \u2013 Chris Bailward and Richard Gaunt \u2013 are taking to the stage at the Milborne Port Opera for a spectacular production of Gilbert & Sullivan\u2019s \u201cHMS Pinafore\u201d from April 27th<\/sup> \u2013 30th.<\/sup><\/p>\n

This well-known\u00a0 opera is a wonderful parody of social class, combined with Gilbertian \u201ctopsy turvey\u201d, where the social order can be transformed during the course of a song.<\/p>\n

It is particularly appropriate for the week of the royal wedding , because the work deals with snobbery and \u00a0the thorny issue of marriage above and below one’s class or station, and how an accident of birth can \u00a0decide one\u2019s future \u2013or can it? The work also features not one, but three weddings.<\/p>\n

Also appearing are Andrew Armstrong (Captn Corcoran), and Caroline d\u2019Cruz (musical director), both accomplished musicians, who will be familiar to patrons of Paddy Hughes\u2019s concerts in the Horsington Village Hall.<\/p>\n

The MPO is an acclaimed local group with a high standard. It celebrated its 20th birthday last year. New singers and actors are always welcome. Weekly rehearsals start in September, so it\u2019s an ideal way to pass the winter months.<\/p>\n

Milborne Port is a 10-minute drive away. The opera is in the village hall, transformed for the occasion. 7.30 pm.<\/p>\n
